# Connect ChatGPT

Add Soontra to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server and sign in.

You need to be an owner or admin of the Soontra workspace. The app signs in to Soontra for you; there is no key to copy.

## Steps

1. **On the web, open Plugins, click the plus, then Add custom MCP server.**

2. **Paste Soontra’s link as the Server URL, choose OAuth, then Create as a plugin.**

3. **Install it and sign in to Soontra. Drafting needs ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu.**

Custom MCP server:

```
Name:            Soontra
Server URL:      https://app.soontra.com/api/mcp
Authentication:  OAuth
```

- Creating and editing drafts from ChatGPT needs a ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace. Other plans can search and read.

> **Note:** These steps follow OpenAI’s documentation for custom MCP servers, read on November 10, 2026. If the app has moved its menus since, look for where it adds a custom MCP server or connector.

## Choosing access

Soontra asks which workspace to connect and how much the app may do. **Full access** reads your content and leaves drafts. **Content access** reads only. **Read-only** sees names and structure, not what is inside files. **Download files** is a separate box under Advanced options: tick it to see previews and play media in the chat. Each person keeps one signed-in connection, so connecting a second app replaces the first.

## Try it

Test prompt:

```
List my projects in Soontra.
```

If the app answers with your projects, it is connected. If it says a tool is not available, the connection’s [scopes](https://soontra.com/docs/scopes) do not include it.
